On
June 17, 2009, the Guggenheim Museum and the exhibition Frank Lloyd
Wright: From Within Outward, provided the venue for a spectacular
event benefitting the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation(FLWF). The benefit
dinner raised more than half-a-million dollars for the Frank Lloyd
Wright Foundation's School of Architecture, noted Archives, and
K-12 educational programs.

At the event, the Foundation honored Peter B. Lewis, chairman of Progressive
Insurance Company and the former chairman of the Solomon R. Guggenheim
Foundation; Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, director of the Frank Lloyd Wright
Archives and a curator of the Wright exhibition; and Mark Keane, professor
of department of architecture and director of the Frank Lloyd Wright
Initiative at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Paul Goldberger,
architecture critic for The New Yorker magazine gave the keynote
address to a capacity audience that filled the Guggenheim's rotunda.
